    Design System 1 is the most powerful system because it is the only computer drafting system for schematics, logic diagrams, and chemical process drawings, that performs layout automatically. All other systems require that the user lay out his drawing on a grid before it is entered into the system or compose it in gridded fashion on a screen. With Design System 1, the input sketch is truly freehand and non-gridded. The output is similar to the input in terms of signal flow only. Symbols and lines are moved and straightened to provide an overall minimum drawing size of high quality and then can be generated for output to most CAD systems.
